Saving a file

To save a file:

To save the current file, select the Save command.

To save the file with a different name, select the Save As command.

To save a copy of the file and continue to edit the original file, select the Save A Copy As command.

To save the file as a template for future files, see Creating templates.

Automatically saving files

The autosave feature automatically saves the current file after either a specified number of minutes or a specified number of operations, as defined in the Autosave tab of the Vectorworks Preferences dialog box. See Vectorworks preferences: Autosave tab for more information.

If the Confirm before save preference is selected, a confirmation dialog box opens before the autosave is performed. The information that displays in this dialog box depends on the settings selected in Vectorworks preferences.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

When the save is complete, the message Autosave complete displays in the lower right corner of the window; the message clears when you click the mouse.
